AIS Monitoring System
AIS Monitoring System
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a broadcast system which operates in the VHF
maritime mobile band. It is capable of sending ship or AtoN (Aid to Navigation) information
such as identification, position, course, speed and more to other ships and to shore. A special
access technology is used to allow rapid update rates for multiple reports within the otherwise
limited capabilities of VHF.
Welcome now to the world of AIS monitoring. Our integration of AIS technology will provide
position and name data to your personal AIS station and to other authorized AIS users. All light
operational data is provided for your personal AIS station alone. Other optional data can be
made available such as meteorological information at your AtoN.
Tracking a drifting buoy or monitoring the status of a lantern has never been easier.
The Sealite AIS monitoring system is built around Sealite’s proven SL125 lantern. The robust
TeleBeacon-S® from Maritec provides full AIS functionality whilst the intuitive charting
software of ICAN completes the winning combination.
